So Which Movie Showtime App is Best in Best?
For the most features packed into a single app, you’ll want Flixster or Showtime Anytime. But please note that to use Showtime Anytime app, you must have a subscription to the channel through AT&T Uverse or Verizon FiOS. The Flixster and Fandango app are built-in large number of ads, both pop-up and banner style. So for my purposes, Moviefone strikes the right balance between features, speed, and convenience.
